United Nations In The Era Of Globalization INR 1196.00
Book summary
The United Nations as a world organization has gone through different epochs of time facing various challenges and changes since its inception. While it has done a lot in saving humankind in its diverse fields of activities, yet it has failed to function legitimately and effectively according to the principles of its Charter which has brought its existence and relevance under criticism and questioning. The UN after the end of the Cold War, for a short period of time, gave a new hope to the world that it would now work genuinely according to its member-states' will in an environment of cooperation and understanding between its member-states for common goals. However, right after the collapse of the communist bloc and the end of capitalist-communist antagonism, the process of globalization, already in force, gained momentum which brought about a new era in the UN's life affecting international relations and world politics too. The emergence of globalization has created many new challenges not only to the individuals and countries, but also to the international institutions and global organization. This study is an attempt to analyse the real purpose of the emergence of globalization as a policy and its effects on the UN in particular and the international political economic relations in a wider context.
